  • The deputy national security adviser was Charles Kupperman.

  • He said that Trump became irate when the topic of Ukraine came up.

  • Kupperman told The New York Times that he let loose.

According to a former aide, Donald Trump launched into a profanity-laden rant at a meeting when the topic of Ukraine came up, accusing the country of trying to defeat him in the 2016 US election.

Charles Kupperman accused his former boss of being incapable of understanding global politics and the importance of Ukraine in an interview with The New York Times Magazine. Kupperman said it was all personal for him.

That was made clear in the May 23, 2019, meeting. When the topic of Ukraine came up, Trump just let loose, according to Kupperman, who left the Trump administration five months later.

They are corrupt. Trump said that they tried to screw him, according to The Times.

Trump was impeached by the House after withholding $400 million in security aide for Ukraine that had been approved by Congress. He asked for an investigation into the claim that Russia interfered in the presidential campaign.

I would like you to find out what happened with the situation in Ukraine. The server, they say Ukraine has it, and Trump told Zelenskyy that it was pushed by his personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, and Russian intelligence.

In his interview with the Times, Kupperman said that manufacturing dirt on the Biden family was the extent of his interest in Ukraine.

He would not know what the balance of power was. He wouldn't know that Stalin starved that country. Those are the points that have to be taken into account when making foreign policy. He wasn't capable of it because he didn't know how these countries and their leadership evolved.
